"The Beach Bum"... not on Netflix but on Hulu. Essentially, it's Fear and Loathing in Key West. Some might say it's Mathew McConaughey simply just playing himself but I think the film reaches beyond that. Can take it at face value or enjoy the movie as something surrealistic over the last hour. Supporting cast with Snoop Dog, Jimmy Buffet, Zac Efron, George Clinton, Isla Fisher, and Martin Lawrence.
The Laundromat is kind of all over the place. Huge cast, solid director, and interesting story, yet the movie fails. It skips through the details that matter, and dwells on things that feel irrelevant. It tries to make a complicated subject entertaining, but ends up being neither entertaining nor particularly informative.
It clearly wants to be the Big Short, but it's a ways off the mark. I'd give it a pass.
The King.
Interesting retelling of Henry V. Without Shakespeare's* jingoism but more modern concerns of leaders motives and going to war over falsehoods.
Highly recommended
*The Falstaff character is particularly interesting twist.
Thanks for the rec, in this topic and the other one, on Dolemite Is My Name. A mighty fine bags-to-bitches tale. Put your weight on it!!
The End of the F***ing World S2 is out. Shocked they were able to keep it going. S1 was outstanding
Agreed, but it certainly made me rethink the Panama Papers and intrigued me enough to now search out Secrecy World, on which it was based.Quote:

Good info. Almost waded into that one last night. Perhaps I'll skip it.Quote:

I liked it, but definitely not what I was expecting
Another vote for 'Dolemite is my Name'. Thought it was over, he was going to go bust, then the ending was so good. Haven't seen a movie that good in a while.
Viva Eddie Murphy! Hope he can make a comeback with non-nutty professor-esq movies. Good to see him again.
Brace yourself!Quote:

While I am hella skeptical, at least it's being directed by Craig Brewer, who directed Hustle & Flow and Dolemite Is My Name and at least it's gonna feature Wesley Snipes (who stole every scene he was part of in Dolemite Is My Name)...but other'n that I don't have very high hopes.

Damn,next you'll tell me that they are remaking Trading Places with Dan Akroyd tooQuote:

Olivia Coleman is incredible.
Just finished Russian Doll.
I liked it, had some very funny moments, some total mindfuck moments, and some really dark moments. Really well done.
And while there is of course some parallel to Groundhog Day, it's completely different (in style, substance, and even quite different on the basic idea).
SUPER DARK TIMES
Surreal and macabre high school love triangle with rich layers of subtext and some seriously wigged out violence. Fantastic dialogue coupled with just the right amount of messed-up tweaks on familiar tropes and further enhanced with taut pacing and an hallucinatory sense of paranoia make this a keen viewing experience.
WTF was that Six Underground movie starring Ryan Reynolds that I just watched?
^^ Michael Bay likes it when you watch him wank.
I need to finish it. Fell asleep at the end. Stoked for the Irishman next.Quote:

I couldn't make it out of the first scene. So much "action" it was fucking boring.Quote:
